✦ Synopsis

"Please hear me. We are all in danger, the most terrible danger; we are all going to die terrible deaths. If you can hear me, if anyone can hear me, remember these words. Please. Pass them on to your children, and to theirs. You are our one hope..."

Ansible 15715, a short story, is a frantic broadcast from the mind of a woman lost in time, a researcher trying to forewarn the human species about an unexpected and terrifying threat.

There is very little chance that anyone will hear her plea.

Unless possibly you.

"Stant Litore may be SF's premiere poet of loneliness. With the first stories in the Ansible series, he has pulled off an incredible feat, rendering individual tales that sing the ache of desolation in a register entirely their own while simultaneously building a central premise and an accompanying world thats utterly original, gorgeously pained, and potentially inexhaustible. Before Ansible 15715, I can't remember ever having read a story and immediately started reading it again, but after devouring it twice in rapid succession, I then read it aloud to the first person I could find." - Jason Kirk, author of Reverb and The Other Whites in South Africa

"Im a thug. I read Stephen King all day. Nothing can scare me. This book, however, kind of freaked me out." - Keyoka Kinzy, SciFi Bloggers

"Litore's elegant prose seeps into the soul, stoking our fears of dark labyrinths and the loss of self, of having our direst warnings passed off as madness in a cruel and ignorant world. A chilling and masterful tale." - Allison M. Dickson, author of Strings

"Stant Litore truly weaves a spellbinding story that leaves the reader feeling vulnerable. It is impossible not to become drawn into the world that Stant created..." - Heather Maloney, examiner.com

"Stant Litore's writing is so good and yet so hard to describe. He can be both an angel and a devil all in one. He's an angel for writing such wonderful and thought-provoking stories, and a devil for using those stories to make you want to curl up into a ball and hide." - Must Read Faster
